Dear Esteemed Client,
It has been our privilege to serve as your logistics partner, and your trust in our services is deeply appreciated. Over the years, we have strived to deliver the best possible solutions while maintaining competitive pricing.
However, recent shifts in the economic landscape have presented us with new challenges. We have noticed a gradual increase in operational costs, driven by factors such as rising fuel prices, labour expenses, and material costs. These changes have compelled us to re-evaluate our pricing structure to ensure continued service excellence. I am sure you are aware that in 2013 CPI rate was 110 and now as we head in 2024 it is reached up to 181.9. The labour cost over the last 10 years has increased by 55% and the fuel prices which were at Rs.65 in 2013 has a difference of Rs.30 nearing up to Rs.95 in 2024 which increases overall cost for transportation.
After careful consideration and with humility, we propose a modest increase to our existing agency and handling charges as mentioned in the below table. Our last review of charges was conducted in 2013 and since then, we have witnessed significant shifts in the economic environment. We believe that these adjustments are necessary to adapt to current market conditions and sustain the quality of our services.
| Shipment Type | Revision* | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| - | 20'FCL | 40'FCL | |
| LCL(Minimum) | Rs.150/- | - | - |
| Docks Stuffing | - | Rs.250/- | Rs.400/- |
| Factory Stuffing | - | Rs.250/- | Rs.400/- |
* The above revision shall be applicable from our Invoice dated 1st May 2024.
We are immensely grateful for your partnership and the opportunity to serve you with same commitment.
Thank you for considering our proposal, and we look forward to continuing our journey together.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR COLOMBO SHIPMENTS
Dear Valued Customer,
We are writing to inform you of an important update regarding the requirements set forth by the South Korean customs authorities.
Effective immediately, South Korean customs has mandated that the business registration number of the direct consignee (cnee) must be included on the Bill of Lading (BL). This requirement applies exclusively to direct consignees and is essential for smooth customs clearance.
To ensure compliance with this regulation, we kindly request your assistance in checking with the Shipper in advance and acquiring the direct consignee's business registration number. Once obtained, kindly provide us with the necessary details as soon as possible so that we may update the BL accordingly.
Including the direct consignee's business registration number will play a crucial role in expediting the customs clearance process and avoiding any avoidable delays or penalties. Your cooperation in this matter is highly appreciated.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and we look forward to your support.

A lot has been said about the port of Lamu but just how much do we know? Well here are some facts about the port. It will form the country's second largest transport and economic corridor. The port will impact greatly on the country's economy to an estimated 3% to the GDP by 2020. Not only will this change Kenya and Lamu but also transform the economies of regional economies through increased trade, integration and inter-connectivity spanning growth. The port will also be an important transhipment hub. It is expected to handle crude oil and oil products from South Sudan, Uganda and the newly discovered oil from Kenya. The oil alone will be able to impact on the lives of 166 million people in Kenya, Ethopia and South Sudan. The port is expected to consist of 30 berths when complete,will cost US$3.5 billion and be 1000 acres in size. The port of Lamu has a natural depth of 18 metres depth and be able to receive some of the largest ships in the world.
